Wooltari Tips

Storage Guide

To preserve maximum freshness over time, refrigeration is highly recommended. If fridge space is limited, store the rice in a cool, dry place completely away from direct sunlight.

Tip: Placing a few cloves of garlic or whole dried chili peppers inside your storage container helps naturally prevent rice weevils.

How to Cook Perfectly

Due to its naturally high moisture and excellent stickiness, Jinsangmi does not need to be soaked in water for a long time. When adding water to your rice cooker, use about 10 percent less water than you would for standard white rice.
